I stomped on the temptation to pass him a smug look and turned back to the file at hand. It contained all the information about the new man who had decided to trade a bounty for Amrita's head. He was put down immediately but his resolve didn't diminish, instead it spread farther and quicker.Word reached the world about the Donna of "Dilitirio" and many more threats rose up. Under Fathers rule, things were different. He had proven to be psychotic by stabbing our uncle to death at the age of 14, ever since then, people had feared him and his hunger for power and control.My grandfather and Father together trained me to dominate our world, to kill without thought and take without consent. Whereas, my mother indirectly taught me the things they didn't mention.Watching her get pushed around, ridiculed, mocked and used didn't settle well with me and when I threatened to drop my position if he didn't stop it. The man finally let up. But his hunger for power shifted after I took over.From day o
There wasn't anything that I was sworn to protect or a duty I was supposed to keep up with. The only thing expected from me was to act like a sweet little puppet and give birth to the heir. Something that neither me nor Julian wanted was for our child to be in danger.The window creaked, drawing my attention to it as I watched the wind rustle the papers placed on the desk. Deciding to divert my mind from the horrifying thoughts. I unrolled from myself, placing the gun beside me before carefully strolling to the desk. Ready to duck under the bed or behind the furniture if someone suddenly decided to barge in.In front of me, lay a beautifully written letter and beneath it their were several manila colored envelopes. From the undone seals, I knew that Julian had already read them and if he left them out then they mustn't have been a big deal. Right?Shrugging off the thought I picked up the paper and sat down on the couch beside the desk.Dear Julian,I know being a new boss must be very ha
"Some resented openly and when they threatened to resort to violence, the boss kicked them out and started to look for new recruits. During that time it seemed that one of the ex-allies had hired a hit man who wanted to get back at boss's father, and what best way to destroy the gang than killing the Donna."Julian had mentioned something about a hit man who wanted to get back at the family for some misunderstanding with his uncle."The man was caught by one of sir Edward's team members and annihilated soon after. The new recruits were easy to find with sir Edward checking their backgrounds and hand picking them and the boss going over their situation and interviewing them. The exiled members on the other hand had started to scheme with some of the members inside the gang, which is why boss prohibited anyone who wasn't under the oath from entering the estate."No wonder I hadn't spotted many men around lately, those that used to once defy the rules and make eye contact with either me or J
All thoughts of him feeling anything at all vanished completely from my head as I understood that he had nothing to loose at all in all this. The people might've believed him to be following orders because the ex-boss had me hostage and if he managed a few bruises and cuts, then he would really look like the victim instead of the oppressor.He looked back to the road and his eyes widened in shock before he swerved the car to the right and stepped on the brakes. I clutched the empty seat in front of me and managed not getting another bruise.The man coughed and glared outside the window, I glanced out and a hopeful smile immediately took over my face as I spotted another car that had come to stop barely a few feet from ours.Edward stepped out as my father-in-law yanked me out of the back. The gun pressed tightly against my waist in case I tried to make a run or in case help had arrived.My eyes widened in shock as the drivers door burst open and Julian stepped out. His suit coat was messed
"Press it to his wound and apply pressure on it. Keep your eyes open." Edward said.I nodded following his instructions, noticing the eye roll Julian had done at the order he received. The car purred to life and I sat beside Julian as he laid on the seat. My knees were pressed to the bottom of the car as I held the cloth there. His hand crawled to mine and held it in his. A satisfied smile taking over his face as he closed his eyes."Stay up." Julian said.I choked out, he gave a small nod peeking through his eyelashes to smile at me. Ducking my head, I forced my mind off of his slightly dropping lids and prayed.Please Lord, you didn't kill him then, please don't kill him now. Please, he's the only one I rely on, don't take him away too. I love him more than anything, he's the strength I needed, without him I won~ can't hold on. Let him live, let him stay awake and face our future. Let us stay together through everything. You brought us together during terrible times and brought us closer
True that he was old enough to not have his cheeks kissed as greeting but Donna had resisted the stupid universal rule by reminding him of all the pain a mother has to go through to give birth to a kid and watch that kid grow up and become distant hurts her tremendously.Mastering the arts of emotional blackmail, she managed to have my husband sit down with her for a good few hours everyday and talk with him about the most random stuff... after greeting him with kisses on the cheeks.It would drain him tremendously, to sit still and listen but he did it for the sake of his mother. Once Donna realized that Julian had a hard time focusing during their little chats, she had me brought in to distract him further.Me and Donna would chat then and Julian would snuggle into my neck, holding me on his lap, my back against his chest as he breathed me in. Sometimes, if he felt extra naughty, he'd do something unexpected, like kissing my neck or biting down on the sensitive spots. He was well hidden
Julian had rushed out despite me trying to hold him back, instead he had just kissed me, wiped away my tears and pressed his forehead against mine before promising that everything was going to be perfectly fine.Edward had rushed Donna and Sally into the room soon after, handing me my gun and the bullets before nodding at the three of us and closing the door behind himself.We sat in silence, jolting as a scream or gunshot rang too close to the room. We could hear sounds from outside the window and the door. The window was covered by a thick curtain to keep anyone from even getting a glance at the inside while the light was closed so no one would become suspicious of the room.It was still cold as we sat in frozen fear, hearts thumping wildly in our chests as shadows passed from beneath the door. Edward hadn't locked it because if it was locked, the enemy would undoubtedly figure out why and we would be in even greater danger than what we were in now.When the door to a nearby room slammed
Edward's orders as he had demanded, getting closer and closer to the main door.As we drew nearer, the danger increased and Edward took longer to call for us. He and his companion Lee had to shoot a few men down while we would stay hidden inside the human shield formed around us that would tighten at any sign of danger."Simone!"At Edward's shout, the man to my left ran after him quietly but nonetheless as quick as a bunny. His movements were smooth as he stopped at the corner and glanced around it before cocking his gun and taking a few shots.We waited calmly as a few groans echoed around us and he crossed the hall. A few moments later, Lee- the man who had previously been assisting Edward- returned and occupied Simone's spot. Looking exhausted and injured as he did so. From his tight hold around his own waist I could only guess that he had been shot or stabbed. The men didn't give it much thought and soon we were moving again.Regardless of his injury, Lee looked on-guard, keeping just

Blaire was two years younger than me and had cravings that were quite similar to mine during my pregnancy with Nick, she had dubbed our house her home since she would practically get everything she needed here. Food, a distraction for the children, an older brother like Julian and an older sister like me. Her words had touched my heart and I had nearly cried but Julian had kept a strong hold on me during the whole confession.I had been munching on chocolate banana treats during my pregnancy with Adriana but my mother wasn't having any of it. 'being unproductive and eating sweets, do you want to put on weight?' were her exact words and then she had resorted to doing exercises dubbed safe for pregnant women with me.Donna and Blaire had joined in and Nick and Amlian enjoyed doing them as well. So more than half the time, keeping me fit was a family activity. It did pay off in the end though, after a good month of safely delivering my baby girl, mother had started up my exercises once a
I watched as Amlian did a quick sweep of his left and right before inserting the key in and turning it, a soft click followed. Amlian hesitated, before turning around and looking at Nick, who was also in the middle of nervously shifting from foot to foot."I don't think we should do this."Nick nodded quickly to his older Brother's statement and pointed to the door that had slowly parted. The afternoon sun lit up Julian's study and in all honesty, I snuck in more often than not.I stifled a laugh when I realized what the two of them would have had to do to get the keys from Edwards coat. Since it was December, a thick cover of ice had consumed our city. Making the temperature drop to 2-5 degree celcius, during the day! Another reason why everyone was tucked in warm clothes and long coats. Edward had to take off his coat upon entering since the central heating system had kept our house temperature normal. Julian had it upgraded a few years back, for the sake of our children and to avoi
They had recently adopted a 5 year old from what I had heard and experienced, it was a girl and she was extremely shy. Donna told me that she had been through a rough patch in her last foster home and was still learning to talk to people. I thought she was cute when they showed me a picture of the girl.She had swollen eyes though and a very skinny body, from what I could tell, she was sleep and food deprived. Ryan-Donna's husband- was scared at first, afraid that since he had hit 45 the child would be hard to keep up with but after he had learned of her past he gladly took her in. So far, the two of them and I were the only people that little Ellen had even said a word to. The only thing she said to me was 'hi' but that was enough to reassure me that the child would be fine.The knock on the door pulled me away from Julian's arms and towards the door."Boy what are you doing with your life? Still single?!""Absurd! Are you sure you're not gay?" I giggled to myself as I heard Ryan and
A month later:"So how was it?" I asked.Me and Donna were seated at the couch, watching a new k-drama and fawning over the beautiful people together, while my husband, brother-in-law, father and mother went to interrogate their captive. From what Julian had clarified for me, the man was his fathers right hand, someone his father had entrusted a lot to.There was some tension between Julian and Edward, it had confused me at the beginning but then I had learned that it was because that man had been the father figure in their life. Someone who had, in a sense taken up the role of leading male for them."What do you all want to eat?" I asked.We couldn't order anything since the location of the safe house had to be kept secret and that was depressing. There was a bit of complaining at the beginning but then we just settled for cooking for the employed people of our little group.I smiled at them as my father and Julian talked about something which seemed too intense for me to keep up with and
It was approaching mid night, during the rest of the day we had moved to another safe house, I was in the same car as my parents after Julian reluctantly let Donna drag him away. It was a full on tear fest that we sat through, my father was the most shaken one. He apologized so many times for letting me leave on my own, going as far as to call himself a terrible parent.I had to remind them of what they always told me, which was that every human makes mistakes. That just resulted in dad complaining about no one else being that stupid. After mom and I had managed to calm him down, they relayed the whole story to me.I had known before hand that my parents were involved with the police in the earlier stages of their lives but as far as I knew, they had dropped the profession once I was born. After me being taken away, they took it upon themselves to personally track me down. No matter how long it took.After six hopeless years of relentless searching, on a stormy evening, they were approac
